I was not the one to comment on TDI, my comments are on other parts of the
code. Also, I did not say I would sue, I point out that there is no value
in a firm to sure an open source project since it just wastes money. I will
standby that the last time I looked I found many places that were too close
to the stolen Windows source for coincidence, and the fact that your project
was using Bo Branten';s GNU ntifs.h which is primarily stolen

I'm quite surprised about your discussions here.
Have a look at our tdi.sys driver:
http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos/trunk/reactos/drivers/network/tdi/
it's almost empty, most functions are just stubbed. What kind of binary
1:1
similarity and comments(!) match are you speaking about, if the whole
tdi's
source code takes only 8 kilobytes?
It's nothing near real windows's TDI driver.
That's amazing how you all went further speaking about sueing our project
for having an empty driver with stubs, whose names correspond to the
exported
functions list of a windows tdi.sys driver!

No, I am talking about identical sources.

Hi Volodymyr,
do you mean binary-level identical, so that you could
take the image and run it on a windows e.g. 2000
System. The exports must be the same, since
they aim to be binary compatible to windows
systems, in majority to drivers, but are the algo's
the same, the internals bit-to-bit identical to ms
implementations? I mean they cant be 100% the
same, depending on the comilers output, but how
identical are they?
Regards
Kerem
